Securing UAV Flying Base Station for Mobile Networking: A Review

A flying base station based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses its mobility to extend connectivity coverage and improve communication channel quality achieve a greater rate latency performances. While UAV stations have been used in emergency events 5G networking (sporadic temporary), their use will significantly increase 6G networking, as expects reliable even rural regions requires high-performance channels line-of-sight for millimeter wave (mmWave) communications. Securing the integrity availability of operations is critical because users’ increasing reliance provided by stations, e.g., mobile user loses if operation gets disrupted. This paper identifies security issues research gaps focusing unique properties, while building existing wireless communications stationary ground embedded control drones. More specifically, station’s user-dependent positioning, battery-constrained power, dynamic distributed cause vulnerabilities that are distinct from those previous-generation with stations. reviews relevant perspectives (mobile computing, computing) embedded/control systems (UAV vehicular positioning battery control) then new emerging Through this review paper, we inform readers research, development, standardization future networking.
